I need a new master cylinder for my 75 duster. Its 4 wheel drum and manual brakes.

I bought mine at Autozone... it was cheap ($17)... but it took two tries to get one that worked right!

Shop by brand name. Try for a Bendix or Raybestos new premium/professional master cylinder. Third choice would be Wagner.

How good are the Dorman M79772 master cylinders? Would it be better to get one of those instead of remanufactured?

Dorman's master cylinders are almost certainly Chinese. "Remanufactured" units are trash.

I sent my original master cylinder out to john stuart machine along with the proportioning valve, to be sleeved with stainless steel sleeves. ive put about 50K on them and they are still working flawlessly, even after long periods of inactivity. it will cost you a lot more to have them sleeved than replaced, but there is a one-year unlimited mileage warranty on seals and a lifetime unlimited warranty on the housing, once theyve done it.

i can personally vouch for their work, having not only used them for my own car but several of my clients in the forklift industry.

That's a very good suggestion — other known providers of this kind of service include White Post Restorations and...um...one other that I can't recall at the moment. Several of them advertise in Hemmings.

Whats the cost for something like that?

Pricey.

Mine cost nearly double what an aftermarket master would have run me. the good news is that you pay once, and cry once. i plan to keep my car for a very long time, so it was worth it to me.

where stainless sleeving really shines is on brake calipers, especially when the car has sat for a long time, they will never seize. the corvette calipers are the most common candidate for sleeving, but id also recommend KH calipers or any disk brake conversions on our cars, especially if you only take them out for a spin occasionally.

Keep in mind also that brass is an excellent sleeving material, which is usually a fair bit less costly than stainless steel.
